Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes are one of the most successful pairings in the history of Formula 1. However, this union will come to an end after the 2024 season as the seven-time world champion moves to Scuderia Ferrari. It seems that the Briton is already more focused on his future at Maranello.
The British driver announced his Ferrari move before the start of the current season. This raised eyebrows over Lewis Hamilton‘s confidence in Mercedes’ progress. Luckily, the 39-year-old managed to break his 945-day-long winless streak with a fairytale victory at the British GP.
Unfortunately, the last few races have not been easy for Hamilton. The seven-time world champion has not tried to hide his frustrations publicly. Moreover, Lewis Hamilton even mentioned that he was keeping an eye on whatever was happening at his future team.
These signs indicate that the 39-year-old is more interested in his upcoming switch to the Scuderia.

The Silver Arrows have won a handful of races in midseason due to an impressive rise in performance.
However, the Brackley-based team’s persistent struggles emerged once again. Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton (via Planetf1)Lewis Hamilton has claimed that he has struggled throughout the year in Qualifying with the W15. The seven-time world champion even gave a cryptic radio message after the Brazilian GP.
For fans, it seems that the Briton has lost faith in the team’s performance altogether. On the other hand, Scuderia Ferrari stands second in the standings, even outperforming Red Bull. The Italian team has shown promising pace in recent weeks with a 1-2 finish at the US GP.
For Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari’s progress is the perfect time to join the team, something recognized even by Red Bull’s Christian Horner. As such, it should not be a surprise that Hamilton is slowly directing his attention to his future team. The Scuderia might be the environment he needs to fight for an eighth world title.
However, the 39-year-old would surely have a hard time saying goodbye to the Silver Arrows after the Abu Dhabi GP. RELATEDMichael Schumacher’s son should give up on F1 dreams
